Tomorrow - we are on to the Senate. Call your State Senator NOW to tell them to #PassLD1668 and invest in community support for young people instead of cages. #freeouryouth #closelongcreek #LD1668

New naloxone delivery systems—like the auto-injector and the nasal spray—have allowed for new patents, of which there are currently seven. In effect, companies are now charging for the delivery system, not the drug itself. By @CarlynZwaren: filtermag.org/naloxone-narca…

UNANIMOUS support at today's hearing for LD 994 (!!!), which would #decriminalize syringes, testing supplies, and other #saferuse #harmreduction tools. Send your support in TODAY! mainelegislature.org/testimony/

Whitney Parrish, HEAL: Harm reduction strategies work. We must meet people where they are, and we need to build relationships without putting people we love in harm's way.

"But the fight isn't over. Make no mistake, this will happen again & there will be other officers who try to escape all accountability. We must work to #EndTheDrugWar, so that drugs can never again be used as an excuse to rob ppl of their dignity, their humanity or their lives.”

Today, Derek Chauvin was found guilty. But we didn't need a guilty verdict to know that the fight is far from over. Time and again, police use intoxication as an excuse to harm & kill. We must work to end the drug war. We must build a world of true safety. drugpolicy.org/press-release/…

Really important and useful thread about Xylazine which has been found in fentanyl here in Toronto and elsewhere. Thanks Nabarun for this thread.

Xylazine, a veterinary tranquilizer, is showing up in heroin and other dope today. 🚨 xyalzine is NOT levamisole 🚨 Pay attention, this is something different. A brief 🧵 timeline below by @mary_figgatt @UNCpublichealth @UNC_IPRC
